Texas will forms: official forms and guided completion
The Supreme Court of Texas provides official simple will forms for certain common situations. LoneStarWill is not a government site and does not invent its own Texas will form.
Official forms are the foundation
The Supreme Court of Texas provides official simple will forms for certain common situations. You can complete those forms yourself, or LoneStarWill can guide eligible users through supported official form paths using plain-English questions.
The official forms are free, but you still have to decide whether a form fits, work through the packet and instructions, put your answers in the right places, and complete the signing steps. LoneStarWill is designed to make that process simpler: it checks basic eligibility for supported situations, asks one question at a time, places your answers into a supported official form, and gives signing instructions that match that form.
LoneStarWill is not a government website and is not affiliated with the Supreme Court of Texas. It does not invent its own Texas will form. It does not give legal advice.
The Supreme Court announcement says the forms help Texans create their own wills in certain situations and are not a substitute for legal advice. TexasLawHelp explains the same idea in everyday language.
Why use a guided tool?
- Answer one question at a time instead of working the whole packet at once.
- Built-in eligibility screening for the situations this product supports.
- Your answers are placed into the supported official form for you.
- Signing instructions that match that supported form.
LoneStarWill does not provide legal advice or guarantee that a will is valid. It is designed to make the supported form process easier to work through.
What the simple forms cover
The approved simple will forms are grouped by common family situations: married or not, and whether there are children. Not every Texas resident fits those forms. Business ownership, special-needs planning, gifts to someone on public benefits, and many blended-family goals are examples of things a simple form may not handle.

What to do next
If your situation fits one of the supported official form paths, LoneStarWill can guide you through the process step by step.
Completing a form — on your own or through guided questions — is not the last step. You still print and sign. See will requirements and how to make a will. If the situation is complicated, a Texas attorney may be the better path.
